This Mom Was Accused Of Making Her Daughter’s Friend Do Chores At A Sleepover After She Asked For Their Snacks And Dishes To Be Put Away Before Bed
This forty-two-year-old woman’s daughter, who is sixteen, recently had one of her closest friends over for a sleepover.
So, she decided to order the girls pizza for dinner and got it delivered to their home. But, since she had already had dinner and the girls were not very hungry at the time, she told them they could eat the pizza whenever they wanted to.
And in the meantime, she would be upstairs doing some laundry.
On top of the pizza, she also bought them some sleepover snacks and left everything out on the counter so the girls could grab them at any time during the evening.
But, she just asked that the girls do a couple of things after eating. First, close up any snacks when they are going to bed so they do not become stale. Second, just leave their plates in the sink after eating.
“I let them know that I would come down to load the dishwasher and clean up afterward,” she recalled.
Nonetheless, her daughter ended up putting her own plate in the dishwasher without her mom needing to do it. And her daughter’s friend did the same.
The pair also put their snacks back into the pantry, so she did not need to clean up anything the next day– which she was impressed by.

But, after her daughter’s friend left the following morning, she received an angry call from the friend’s mother a few hours later.
Apparently, the friend told her mother she was forced to do chores during the sleepover, and the mother said that was unacceptable.
“I explained that they just put their own snacks and plates away. But her mother said that if she were hosting, she would have just taken care of those things,” she said.
Moreover, the friend’s mother also accused her of being a bad host for “wasting” her daughter’s time at the sleepover.
So now, she is utterly puzzled. To her, putting snacks away and placing your dirty dishes in the dishwasher are just basic tasks that she does not consider chores.
However, the other mother’s comments have made her question if she was really a lousy host by asking her daughter and friend to tidy up after themselves.
Do you think that she was asking too much of her daughter’s friend? Is it only common courtesy to tidy up after yourself while you are a guest at someone’s home?
